TRENDING: Bloomberg says Obama should be golfing every weekend
CNN Trending ^ | Mar 10, 2013 | Kevin Liptak

(CNN) - Many GOP critics say President Barack Obama should halt his golf games as the federal government weathers mandatory spending cuts, but one former Republican is taking the opposite tack, suggesting Obama golf more.

But there's one important caveat to New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's advice: The foursomes can't be made up only of friends.

"I find it fascinating, people criticize him for taking people to dinner - he should be doing that every night. They criticize him for going and playing golf with people who he's got to deal with. He should be doing that every weekend. You always can work better with somebody that you have a chance to build a social relationship with," Bloomberg - who ran as a Republican in 2002 but later switched his party to "independent" - said on CBS's "Face the Nation." Bloomberg endorsed Obama in 2012's presidential campaign.

His remarks come as some Republicans cry foul over the expense of Obama's golf games in a time of government austerity - though the president has yet to play a round since the automatic spending cuts took effect March 1. Some in the GOP have chafed at the symbolism of the White House canceling tours, arguing the money spent on Secret Service protection for a presidential golf outing would be better spent on keeping the White House open to the public.

The more Bloomberg talks, the more Marie Antionnette I hear out of him. This elitist nanny-state bastard would have utterly no problem killing millions of 'undesireables' (read: us).

Bloomie should have gone further with this advice. Obama should golf 12 or more hours a day, seven days a week. If he’d just take the next 46 months off to golf, it would dramatically reduce the damage that his socialism could inflict on America.

my pre-written response to all things Bloomberg:

Bloomers is a Crony-capitalist, nebbish, poor little rich boy, self hating jew, tiny buttwipe of a man...the only reason he is probably not a fag (the jury is still out) is that he has the greatest aphrodisiac of all time, billions of dollars....he decries the 2nd amendment, but whines about how the enemy’s first amendment rights to worship are being usurped....even though Islam is NOT a religion but a murder cult.....and dont get me started on salt, transfats, cigarettes and sugar

I think 0dungo should spend his every waking hour at the golf course. All the less opportunity for him to enslave us any further.

Oooo, he's had a whole ten days without golf. Someone call up the Guinness Book of World Records.

Plus it is winter so it is kind of a bitch to find the ball in the snow.

That makes finding it wherever you want a lot easier. Looks like another 450 yard drive for the Bamster.

Exactly my first thought as well. The most important investment America can make right now is Obama's bar tab in Bimini.

Beat me to it. The more he's distracted, the longer it'll take to destroy us.

If Obama was a peace-time president, given any president’s constitutionally limited powers, the golf course is arguably where the president should be spending every weekend. After all, people’s health and unemployment problems aren’t the federal government’s problems unless the states amend the Constitution to make such issues the federal government’s problems.

It doesn’t matter if he plays golf 24 hours a day, the czars have the real powers behind this moron.
